Aaron Rodgers believes the NFL is heading in the right direction with gay acceptance.

Openly gay former offensive tackle Ryan O’Callaghan has the distinction of blocking for two future Hall of Fame quarterbacks. With the New England Patriots he played with Tom Brady, and in college with the California Golden Bears he played with Aaron Rodgers.

It was the latter whom O’Callaghan knew best, ever since the two were competitors in high school in Northern California. Rodgers opened up about his former buddy and teammate in an ESPN interview released today.
